Has light swirl marks in finish but the paint is still shiny and glossy and looks great up close and far away. A few dings and dents on the body and the rear trunk lid / spoiler. Trunk-mounted spoiler is starting to bubble/crack and separate near the bottom. Light rubbing where the t-tops were stored in the hatchback. Overall an impressive example of a 1990 Twin Turbo but it's not brand new. Mechanically sound and well maintained."

1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo

Selling a superb example of the first year ZX featuring the 3.0L V6 181 Cubic Inch engine.  This car was babied and upgraded throughout its life and an extensive and detailed list of upgrades and maintenance is listed below.  Bid with confidence, this is the Z you've been dreaming of. The combination of a twin turbo engine with rear wheel drive paired with a 5-spd manual transmission makes for one of the most intense driving experiences you'll have with a car, period.

I have a lot of time and money invested in this beautiful car but realize that when we have a nice day in Minnesota, I'm far more likely to take the motorcycle out and the ZX shouldn't be second in line and deserves a new home where she will be driven and shown off. This Z has never seen snow and has only been caught in the rain on rare occasion. This car was not raced and except for normal maintenance (belts, spark plugs, fluids, etc), the engine is stock.

The vehicle has a clean and clear title, no accidents, non-smoking interior. Title in-hand and ready for the new owner.

Did Amazon just deliver a car in a giant box?

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

Back in September, reports started rolling in that Amazon would get into the auto sales business after a promo for the Nissan Versa Note appeared on the online retailer's page. That link didn't actually sell a car, but instead acted as a referral service for potential customers, linking them up with dealers. A recent image that's been floating around on Reddit and that was picked up by The Huffington Post, though, has us wondering if Amazon has dove into the actual business of selling cars, rather than just referring people to dealers.
The image, above, shows an enormous Amazon box on the back of a flatbed tow truck. According to HuffPo, this could be one of the cars sold through the earlier promotion for the Versa Note (which was sweetened with the addition a $1,000 Amazon gift card). Apparently, three of the Versas purchased would arrive in such a fashion. Then again, this could all be nothing more than an elaborate publicity stunt. Amazon is, after all, the company has been touting drone delivery of its goods.
What do you think is in the box? Let us know down in Comments. Bonus points for those that come up with an idea as absurd as the bulk order of banana slicers HuffPo mentioned.

Infiniti electric crossover will mark a milestone at Detroit Auto Show

Fri, Dec 14 2018

In November, it was announced that both Nissan and Infiniti will display EV concepts at the 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, taking place in January. Previously, it wasn't made clear what kind of vehicles they would be, but Infiniti stated today that its Detroit concept will be an electric crossover. Both the Nissan and Infiniti concepts will continue the design direction shown by Infiniti's Q Inspiration concept, and later next year, there will be stylistically similar cars shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in October. The luxury brand has released the above teaser photo of the crossover, depicting sharp headlights and a lit grille outline surrounding the badging. We can also see large wheels and tires and sizeable, defined wheel arches. Future Infinitis will be electrified from 2021 on, featuring either serial hybrid tech or full electric drivetrains. Serial hybrid refers to using Nissan's e-power technology, which relies on range extender engines instead of a large combustion engine (such as Infiniti's lauded VC-Turbo). The Detroit Auto Show is also a significant event for Infiniti, as the brand and its first car, the grille-less Q45 luxury sedan, was first displayed 30 years ago at the 1989 NAIAS. "Thirty years ago, as a 24-year-old designer in the audience, I saw the birth of Infiniti in person and am proud to be part of the journey of creating iconic luxury automobiles," said Nissan's senior vice president for global design, Alfonso Albaisa. Meanwhile, Infiniti's November 2018 sales were the best November numbers in the brand's history. "The concept car we will show in Detroit is the beginning of a new era for Infiniti, and an illustration of where we want to go with the brand," said Karim Habib, Infiniti's design director. Earlier, Albaisa echoed his statements, telling us how electrification can inspire the brand's future design thanks to the battery packs' size development, saying: "It's getting denser, it's getting thinner, the cars are able to get a little bit bigger, more space, we can really do much more."

Nissan poaches Ram CEO Fred Diaz

Sat, 13 Apr 2013

Nissan has announced that it has hired Fred Diaz as its new divisional vice president of sales and marketing. With the appointment, Diaz unexpected exits his post as president and CEO of Chrysler's Ram brand, a position he has held since 2009 when the brand was created as a separate entity from Dodge. He was also president and CEO of Chrysler de Mexico.
Nissan issued a press released - posted below - in which it says that Diaz's newly formed position will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the brand in the US, including such facets as sales, marketing, parts and service, along with administrative matters. In addition, he will lead Nissan's light commercial vehicle and fleet division, likely a key attraction with his Ram background.
Chrysler has yet to name a replacement for Diaz.
